Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was punched during an altercation Friday night at a South Dakota restaurant and hospitalized at the Avera St. Lukes Hospital.
Goedert, 25, has been released and returned home. An adult male, Kyle Hadala, 29 of Florida, was arrested and charged with simple assault, per the Aberdeen Police report obtained by NFL Media.

The incident took place around 1 a.m. Saturday, according to the police report, at the Zoo Bar in Aberdeen.
